Stronger with Crimson Modifier

Chapter 460: Chapter 363: God of the Human World [1]

His arms were twisted at unnatural angles, clearly shattered.

There.

Seven Tier Four Celestial Kings, each powerful enough to lead a large settlement.

Were now frozen like statues, standing in place, unable to move.

Like lambs to the slaughter.

After witnessing Kaius’s pitiful state.

The color instantly drained from their faces, leaving them ashen.

They had been counting on Kaius to escape and find reinforcements to save them, but that was obviously impossible now.

"My lord, I am willing to submit to you! I beg you to spare my life!"

Just then, a spiritual wave filled with a desperate will to live echoed in everyone’s minds.

The speaker was none other than Jerald.

At that moment, his body was firmly imprisoned in ice, unable to move.

But as a Tier Four Evolver, even though he was not of the Spiritual System, once one’s power reached this level, their spirit had long since grown strong beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.

Communicating with others through spiritual waves was not difficult for him.

"My lord, we are also willing to surrender! We beg you to spare our lives!"

Seeing this, the others hurriedly spoke up, afraid that if they were too slow, Hu Qi would mercilessly strike them down.

Having made it this far, they naturally cherished their lives and had no desire to die so easily.

"What’s your name? Were you the one tracking me before?"

Ignoring the others, Hu Qi’s gaze fell on Jerald, who had been the first to speak.

"My name is Jerald, my lord. Kaius forced me to do all of this!"

Jerald replied without hesitation.

"Very good. Your methods are quite impressive."

Hu Qi nodded, his tone betraying no emotion.

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord..."

Jerald felt a surge of joy, thinking he had gained Hu Qi’s approval and that his life was now safe.

As for the many problems that might arise after surrendering, he didn’t give them a second thought.

In his view, if Marshal Mukedo won later on, he could just switch sides again.

He was well-practiced in such opportunism.

After all, as a Celestial King Level expert with an extremely special Ability, he was a rare and valuable talent for any faction.

The very next moment.

PFFT!

The sound of flesh being pierced by a sharp blade rang out, sounding particularly abrupt and horrifying in the dead silence.

Jerald’s eyes flew wide open, filled with terror and disbelief.

A sharp ice spike had, without any warning, pierced straight through his skull.

He could clearly feel his powerful Vitality draining away like fine sand in an hourglass.

"Ugh... Wh... Why?"

He used the last of his strength to look at Hu Qi, his eyes full of confusion and indignation.

"No reason. I just don’t like the look of you.

Besides, the one thing I hate most in this life is being tracked!"

Hu Qi’s expression was calm.

Jerald’s expression froze, then twisted, and he seemed to want to say something more.

But a bone-chilling, terrifying coldness spread rapidly through his body, mercilessly extinguishing his last shred of Vitality.

In his final moments, a last thought flashed through his mind.

’So this is death?’

’Is this how the people whose blood I drained felt too?’

Outwardly.

His pupils gradually lost their light, his breathing stopped completely, and he turned into a cold corpse.

Modification Points +317 (7%)

"From now on, if any of you dare to have treacherous thoughts, his fate will be yours."

Having done all this, Hu Qi coldly scanned the remaining six people, his voice like a winter wind, carrying a bone-chilling cold.

With that, he waved his hand, and specks of blue-white light appeared, flying toward the men with unerring accuracy, like fireflies.

Then, they burrowed directly into the foreheads of the six men.

The moment the points of light entered their bodies, the ice encasing the six men shattered, and they regained their ability to move.

However, the men did not dare to make the slightest move, instead kneeling on the ground one by one.

Because they could clearly sense the terrifying cold contained within the points of light.

Once this power burst forth, it could instantly freeze their souls, obliterating them on the spot.

"Yes, we swear to serve you to the death, my lord!"

...

「Meanwhile.」

In a subterranean cave in the distant Western Theater Command.

Mukedo was sitting cross-legged, recovering from his injuries.

Thanks to several days of continuously consuming Earth Spirit Milk, his severe internal injuries had greatly improved.

His complexion was much ruddier than before, no longer the deathly pale of a gravely injured person.

Suddenly, Mukedo seemed to sense something.

He snapped his eyes open. In that instant, two cold glints flashed in his eyes.

A trace of shock and anger appeared on his face.

"Dammit, who was it? Who could have shattered the power I left on Kaius?"

Compared to the affection he had for his second son, he placed far greater expectations on his eldest, Kaius, and valued him much more.

After all, Kaius’s aptitude was plain to see. Barring any accidents, it wouldn’t be long before he broke through to Tier Five.

At that time, their Western Theater Command would have two Tier Five experts, allowing them to completely dominate the other three major Theater Commands.

To ensure Kaius’s safety, he had gone so far as to expend his own source power to place a protective ward on him.

This would give Kaius the Ability to retreat completely unscathed, even when facing a Tier Five Human War God.

But now, this power had been destroyed in a single blow.

To accomplish this, the opponent had to be, at minimum, a Human War God on his level: Tier Five Middle Stage.

Thinking of this, Mukedo could no longer sit still.

He knew the gravity of the situation; if something happened to Kaius, it would be a huge loss he could not bear.

At this thought, his figure flashed and vanished from the spot, leaving behind only the empty cave and the sound of dripping water.
